Carnival by D.M. Thornton

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I’ve hated Oliver
Ever since preschool.
I’ve loved her since preschool,
When we played “Ring around the Rosie.”
I’ll spend my life searching
For little bird, Piper Posie.
Oliver is a recovering addict,
And Piper’s with another man.
They both left one another
When life got out of hand.
Love is a beacon,
It leads them the way
But will Oliver relapse?
Will Piper come back to stay?
Together, they are toxic,
Apart, they are lost.
Their love is forever,
No matter the cost.
